520 |a A hilarious and tender novel about a lovable family of psychics. Teddy Telemachus is a charming con man with a gift for sleight of hand. Short on cash, he volunteers for a study on ESP that's secretly backed by the CIA. There he meets Maureen McKinnon. It's not just her piercing blue eyes that leave Teddy forever charmed, but her mind -- Maureen is a genuine psychic of immense and mysterious power. After a whirlwind courtship, they marry, have three gifted children, and become the Amazing Telemachus Family, performing astounding feats across the country. Irene is a human lie detector. Frankie can move objects with his mind. And Buddy, the youngest, can see the future. Then one night tragedy leaves the family shattered. Decades later, the Telemachuses are not so amazing. Irene is a single mom whose ear for truth makes it hard to hold down a job, much less hold together a relationship. Frankie's in serious debt to his dad's old mob associates. Buddy has completely withdrawn into himself and inexplicably begun digging a hole in the backyard. To make matters worse, the CIA has come knocking, looking to see if there's any magic left in the Telemachus clan. And there is: Irene's son Matty has just had his first out-of-body experience. But he hasn't told anyone, even though his newfound talent might be just what his family needs to save themselves - if it doesn't tear them apart in the process. Harnessing the imaginative powers that have made him a renowned master storyteller, Daryl Gregory delivers a stunning, laugh-out-loud new novel about a family of gifted dreamers and the invisible forces that bind us all. --  |c From dust jacket.
